All things considered, I suspect that March will be the most extreme storm and seismic month of the year to date – although that will surely need to be revisited this spring and summer, when the next round of SuperMoons and eclipses kicks in. The current Mercury Max is a contributing factor in this respect, since it is typically a signal of increased solar activity – X-ray flares, Coronal Mass Ejections (CME), etc. All those extra Gigawatts of solar energy dumped into our home planet contribute to rumblings and roilings in Earth’s crust and atmosphere – turning up the heat tends to bring the pot to a boil, in other words. (Even NASA recognizes this Earth-Sun connection.)
